Dreadful Meadows: Tricks For Treats
For those Confectioners who like to play a tad on the salty side! These 3 interchangeable game modes will create chaos among those who dare to play them!
SLUG & THE PILFERING PATCH
Don’t let that sweet smile and baritone sounding “HAAAY THERE!” deceive you, Slug is loyal to no single Confectioner. They swiftly becomes a sneaky sidekick, acting as a Sugar Sprite on your behalf in the patches of an opponent. Candy stolen by Slug is placed and protected in the fenced Private Patch for the contracting Confectioner to use as they please. Once their dirty work is done, Slug will become available to all again. This time around, it may be you who require Slug's services…*evil laughter*.
CANDY CRITIC CARDS
So you thought your concoctions were the best thing since sliced bubble gum?! Well don’t get ahead of yourself, that’s up to Cornelia Candy Critic to decide. As your fellow Confectioners complete their Concoction Cards they will draw one of the Candy Critic Cards to unleash her judgment on you. But don’t worry, like all great candy critics before her, she can be bribed to give you a “YUM!” seal of approval.
TRICKS FOR TREATS PATCHES
Rumour has it, things have gone from dreadful to borderline criminal in these meadows! Each player will start with an additional patch that allows them to burrow and pinch one candy crop from a fellow Confectionaire. When you retrieve an adjacent Sugar Sprite, is when your theft is revealed! You may pick a candy from any patch, from any Meadow! Just make sure you time it right, or the other Confectioners may clear their crops before you arrive!
SINISTER SEED SILO
Not all seed deliveries arrive in sacks! Here in Dreadful Meadows our Igor Industry Silo’s doing the heavy lifting. For human eyes, the silo also functions as a great visual guide for anticipating the game's end, and as such, it may help to improve their strategy. Concoction cards may also be slipped into the storage slot under the silo for safe dispensing. Don’t let those claws scare you - WORK SAFELY AND SUGAR-FILLED has recently reported that in 2022 there have been no Sugar Sprite related injuries.

Important Notes:
1. Meeple Stars can be earned on retail merchandise purchased through both our webstore and café shop.
2. Most of our prices include VAT at 20%. Meeple Stars are not earned on the VAT
portion of the price. For example, if you buy a game for £50, you’ll earn Meeple Stars on the net amount of £41.67 (the remaining £8.33 goes to HMRC), which would give you 125 Meeple Stars.
3. Cover charge payments and food and drink purchases at the café do not qualify for
Meeple Stars.
4. Meeple Stars can be redeemed either during webstore checkout or when purchasing games
at the café. Each discount can only be applied to a single purchase. If the value of the item is less than the discount amount, the remaining balance will be forfeited.
5. Discounts cannot be used for shipping costs, only for merchandise.
